How To Use White Truffle Oil

10^th Mar 2016

South Coast Turbot is a highly prized species (and often regarded as the best of the flat fish) with a subtle taste-of-the-sea flavour and firm, white flesh.

Here at the Terrace restaurant, our head Chef Matt recommends one of his favourite’s recipes with our very own White Truffle oil to compliment the fish. Impress your dinner party guests with the recipe for this simple and easy dish:
